Harris Emmylou Rollin` And Ramblin` Lyrics

Rollin` And Ramblin` Lyrics

Folks in Nashville slammed the door  

 Said we don't want you anymore  

 Find your own way down the road  

 Pack your fiddle and your guitar  

 Take a train or take a car  

 Find someone else to keep you from the cold  

  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 Women loved him half to death  

 He sang with whiskey on his breath  

 His heart broke like a child's  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 The sun has set out on the trail  

 The hobo's drifted up the rail  

 He's taken his last ride  

    

 Oh, he always sang the blues  

 Like it was all he ever knew  

 He didn't sing at all that night  

 He was pale and as he dozed  

 He didn't know his time had closed  

 Slumped in the back seat to the right  

  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 Women loved him half to death  

 He sang with whiskey on his breath  

 His heart broke like a child's  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 The sun has set out on the trail  

 The hobo's drifted up the rail  

 He's taken his last ride  

    

 So they send him on night train South  

 Through the cities and the rural routes  

 Just one more place to go  

 Ah, the whistle sang the bluest note  

 Like it came from his own throat  

 Moanin' sad and cryin' low  

  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 Women loved him half to death  

 He sang with whiskey on his breath  

 His heart broke like a child's  

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

    

 The sun has set out on the trail  

 The hobo's drifted up the rail  

 He's taken his last ride  

    

 Rollin' and ramblin'  

 The sun has set out on the trail  

 The hobo's drifted up the rail  

 He's taken his last ride
